[Chorus]
EmAmD7G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
EmADC
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
GC
Telling my whole life with his words.
FE
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse 1]
Am7D
I heard he sang the good song.
GC
I heard he had a style.
Am7D
And so I came to see him,
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7D7
And there he was a young boy
GB7
a stranger to my eyes.
[Chorus]
EmAmD7G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
EmADC
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
GC
Telling my whole life with his words.
FE
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse 2]
Am7D
I felt all flushed with fever
GC
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7D
I felt he found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7D7
I prayed that he would finish
GB7
but he just kept right on.
[Chorus]
EmAmD7G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
EmADC
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
GC
Telling my whole life with his words.
FE
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Chorus]
EmAmD7G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
EmADC
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
GC
Telling my whole life with his words.
FE
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse 3]
Am7D
He sang as if knew me
GC
in all my dark despair.
Am7D
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7D7
And he just kept on singing
GB7
sining clear and strong
[Chorus]
EmAmD7G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. singing my life with his words.
EmADC
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
GC
Telling my whole life with his words.
FE
Killing me softly, with his song.
